I'm outta here. Thanks again, everyone, and Happy New Year to those celebrating!
Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

The status is NOT quo.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Someone gave me a copy of The Watchtower at the bus stop this morning. (She was very pretty, dressed smartly and smiled at me. I would have taken a live badger had she handed it to me)
I'd probably accept the badger before I took a copy of the Watchtower. Then at least I'd have something to give the Watchtower to.
The guys in Russia, etc. who split from the Catholic Church, um... long long long long time ago....
I'm not sure they ever split from the Catholic Church. IIRC, Russia had the choice of converting to Catholicism or ORthodox Christianity, and liked the Orthodox pitch better. I could be misremembering, though.
My CCD 8th-grade teacher actually taught us that Genesis didn't rule out evolution at all, but reinforced it instead (God created the animals in the order that they ended up evolving
Yeah, not so much. Genesis' order is: land plants, the sun and moon, aquatic life and birds, land animals, humanity. Doesn't match the evolutionary record that closely. If you have people who tend to get into the details, well, they're going to get into the details.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Religion convo is fascinating, as always. Buffistae are smart.

Happy birthdays to Trudy, Kara, Polter-Cow, and billytea!
Camping is wonderful. Camping in the Olympic Peninsula is awesome. Truly. I wonder if a reward like that would motivate even me to loose weight? ... Probably not.
Omnis, may the new job possibility work out in the best way for you!
P.-C., may your future wife appear on your horizon soon and may you recognize each other immediately and with great relief!

Mostly lurking...
I just wished Ms. Kara a happy birthday, and I told her that her present was still coming. She said, "That's ok. I'll be celebrating my birthday for a few more weeks."

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I seem to have succumbed to this cold I've been fighting on the eve of a routine DRs appointment. Can I can in sick to my doctor?

Genesis' order is: land plants, the sun and moon, aquatic life and birds, land animals, humanity.
Huh? Granted, there seems to be earth before sun, but it looks to me like: heaven and earth, light and dark, sky, land, then vegetation.
And I'm going away to prep for class before you get a chance to respond. Sorry!

Have y'all seen Ricky Gervais' stand-up routine about Genesis?

Third day: land vegetation (v11-12). Fourth day: sun and moon and stars (v14-18 - note that, by a neat trick, evening and morning were already rocking around before the invention of the sun). Fifth day: aquatic life and flying birds (v20-22). Sixth day: land animals (v24-5), then humanity (v26-30; we needed more in the way of operating instructions).
The stuff on the first and second day doesn't include living things, and therefore doesn't have much bearing on the evolutionary time sequence. Neither does the creation of the sun and moon, of course, but since he got started on plants the day before I included them.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

We're the ones responsible for programming the TiVo. It takes some training.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Do the two different accounts of creation in Genesis agree on this?
